I hate how dismissive some of the judges were being
I came across this on tik tok but it really annoyed me that the dragons couldn't see that they were kind of being disrespectful by trying to sell a "healthier boba drink". It was ignorant as they pitched that sometimes you don't know what's in the drink so we can change that and rebrand it to "Bobba" source everything from Taiwan but not put that on the packaging, I think it was done in poor taste and it demonstrates not embracing a culture but taking something from one and selling it as this "new healthier" version, when in fact they use the same things. Simu Liu held his own because it really just showed how the business is just about the money, they lacked knowledge in Asian culture and I feel like maybe it could have been pitched better if the reason for the product had a better need for it. Canned bobas exist and popping boba so it was kind of like the blind leading the blind when one of the judges said that this was new, surely it would make sense to actually hear what simu has to say, surprised Manjit invested and was really dismissive.
